Date Jun. 1, 1989.A method and apparatus for connecting a branch conduit to an existing conduit (9) through a valve (1, 2), the valve being connected to the conduit in such a way that its flow channel (8) is directed tangentially of the conduit (9). A tool (12, 16, 20) is fixed to the outlet of the valve to cut an opening in the conduit (9) through the open valve (1, 2). The tool is designed with a piston having a side recess (13) formed with a cutting edge (20) so that when the piston is retracted from the flow channel, a portion (14) of the conduit (9) is severed and the severed portion (14) will be caught by and retained within the recess.

Title: Roller fork for rotary presses
IPC: B41F13/28
Filed: 1989-01-14
Granted: 1992-07-22
Abstract: To enable fine adjustment of a roller mounting for inking and damping mechanisms on rotary web printing machines during which it is ensured that the angle of rotation of the positioning movement of an eccentric sleeve is less than the rotary movement of a roll-location element, the journal (15) of the roller-location element (3) is mounted so as to be able to rotate in the eccentric sleeve (5). As a means of preventing rotation, a groove (18) is provided on the journal (15) into which one end of a rotation-preventing lever (8) is led in the form of a sliding-member joint and the other end of which is mounted so as to be able to pivot about a hinge (10) parallel to the journal (15) while remaining fixed to the frame. The guide friction roller bearings (12) of the roller mounting are arranged on the journal (13) of the roller (1) and together with its outer ring are received in a fully-closed bearing ring (4), which features a two- edged, flattened guide-journal (14) which is inserted into a slot (S) in the roll-location element (3) and locked into position there.

Granted: 1991-02-06
Abstract: A gelled asphalt cement having improved properties over conventional asphalt cement, including reduced temperature susceptibility and lower rate of age hardening is disclosed. This multigrade asphalt cement is produced by gelling a liquefied asphalt material. This is accomplished by saponifying in the liquefied asphalt, substantially free of water, at least one fatty acid and at least one resin acid with an alkali metal base, or by adding the already saponified product to the liquefied asphalt. The resulting gelled asphalt cement is utilized in conventional processes in road, roofing and specialty applications. The asphalt cement may be prepared and applied using conventional hot-mix asphalt processes in existing hot-mix equipment, standard roofing application equipment and specialty asphalt application equipment.

Title: Device for adjusting the height and fixing the top of a table
IPC: A47B17/02
Filed: 1989-08-23
Granted: 1993-06-09
Abstract: The device for adjusting the height and fixing the top (5) of a table, in particular of office furniture, has at least one pair of plate-type elements (9, 10), of which the one (9) is height-adjustable and the other (10) is adjustable transversely thereto. The purpose of this is to clamp a fixed part (2) of the table in the manner of a sandwich between the two elements (9, 10) in order to join said elements together without clearance in the desired position. The elements (9, 10) are moved in two directions perpendicular to each other by means of threaded bolts (13, 14; 33), their operation being effected from the outside by means of a spanner from above. The transversely adjustable element (10) is displaced by means of a V-drive (30), in particular a mitre gear. Thus a simple and robust device of this type has been provided which is practical in handling and ensures complete stability between the parts to be connected. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An improved releasably securable fastening system for attaching to a complementary receiving surface is disclosed. The fastening system features an engaging means in the form of a hook-shaped tine. The engaging means (30) is longitudinally spaced away from, or above, a substrate (24) by an upstanding shank (28). The engaging means (30) forms an included angle, relative to the perpendicular from the plane of the substrate, which is greater than 180 DEG  so that the engaging means (30) has a reentrant segment (31). The reentrant segment (31) of the engaging means provides for more effective securing of the fastening system to a receiving surface. An engaging means having an included angle greater than 180 DEG provides improved resistance to forces which cause separation of the engaging means from the receiving surface.

Abstract: A multi-stage M-bit binary counter is disclosed including S counter stages in which each counter stage includes an N-bit counter (M=SxN). During a test operation, the stages are decoupled for individual operation, a count value is loaded into the N-bit counter provided in each of the stages, and the N-bit counters of each stage are clocked 2<N> times to check independently the function of the N-bit counters. The stages are then coupled together to function as a multi-stage M-bit counter and a single clock pulse is supplied to the M-bit counter to check the carry propagation between stages. If the N-bit counters are of a type which only generate an output when fully incremented or decremented and the actually count value cannot be read frcm the M-bit counter, then the stages are decoupled together for a second time and the N-bit counters are clocked an additional 2<N> times.
